I have just dug out my Spectrum Heavyweights and put them next to the Rivarossi 60's Heavyweights and one of the new Walthers Heavyweights and there is a slight difference in height! <br /> <br />The Spectrum coaches are about 1-2mm shorter and it looks like this height is lost in the trucks. Also when looking at the Walthers/Rivarossi trucks they are so much better than the Spectrum ones. (The spectrum ones were good for their day, but have now been slightly outclassed). <br /> <br />Does anyone know if replacement trucks are available for the Spectrum coaches, and if so are they easy to fit? I also have an issue with the coupler height on the spectrum heavyweights - they are so low, I have to have an alternative coupling put on my GS-4 tender! Anyone got any suggestions to rectifying the situation? <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Stephen. <br />
